Explore the northern Andes on a full-day tour from Quito. Visit Cochasquí, the Mojanda Lakes, and Peguche, and enjoy a delicious lunch at the historic Hacienda Cusin.
Begin your adventure at Cochasquí, one of Ecuador’s largest archaeological sites. Discover pre-Inca pyramids and ceremonial mounds that once served as an important astronomical and cultural center. As you walk among these ancient structures, uncover the fascinating stories of the Quitu-Cara people who lived here centuries ago.
From there, continue into the highlands to the Mojanda Lakes, a trio of volcanic crater lakes surrounded by rugged páramo landscapes. Enjoy fresh mountain air, stunning views, and the chance for a short, easy hike along the shores, perfect for taking in the peaceful atmosphere and snapping memorable photos.
A highlight of the day is lunch at the historic Hacienda Cusin, a 17th-century estate filled with history, charm, and timeless Andean architecture. Stroll its beautiful gardens, admire the antiques, and enjoy a meal that blends local flavors with Ecuador’s rich culinary traditions.
After lunch, the journey continues to Peguche, a village known for its talented artisans and strong cultural identity. Visit local workshops to see traditional weaving and Andean instruments being crafted, and connect directly with the people keeping these ancestral skills alive. Just outside the village lies the Peguche waterfall, a sacred site for the local Kichwa community, where rituals and ceremonies still take place today.
